Allentsteig is located in the heart of the Waldviertel with a beautiful town lake, surrounded by beautiful forests and fields. The numerous hiking trails offer relaxation and a change from everyday life in a stress-free environment. Those interested in culture can admire two works of art, among other things, while hiking along the edge of the town lake and in the town center. If you really want to experience "pure nature", the hiking trails on the edge of the military training area, which lead through untouched natural landscapes, are just right for you.
